UK Corporate Governance Code

The UK Corporate Governance Code - issued by the Financial Reporting Council - sets out standards of good practice for larger companies in relation to their board leadership and effectiveness, remuneration, accountability and relations with shareholders.

It is sometimes abbreviated to 'the UK Code'.

The Corporate Governance Code updated and replaced the former Combined Code.
